- SQSally Ann QuinnOct 30, 20255.0I rarely find myself in an auto parts store but today a needed a windshield decal scraper. Jake found me a Permatex scraper with interchangeable plastic blades and some Goof Off adhesive remover. Just the ticket:)
- CEChristian EmbreyOct 30, 20255.0I went to get a new battery today and Casey helped me out at the register. He was upfront with the options for my 4Runner and got me squared away. He replaced the battery and cleaned off the corrosion from my old one and even took the old one to be recycled. Will definitely go back next time I need anything for my car!
- MHMina “Shogun” HannaOct 27, 20255.0I had an amazing experience thanks to Louis and Kerk. They went above and beyond to help me with my car headlights. Not only did they make sure I had the right bulbs, but they also patiently guided me step by step on how to install them myself. That kind of support is rare, and it gave me confidence to handle it on my own in the future. What impressed me even more was their dedication they stayed after hours just to make sure everything was done right and I was taken care of. Their professionalism, kindness, and willingness to go the extra mile truly set them apart. If you ever need help with your car, I highly recommend this advanced auto parts location. Ask for Louis and Kerk they’ll take great care of you!
- CWCarson WilliamsOct 25, 20255.0Luis Bultron went above and beyond, twice!!! Lending me his own personal tools, Luis helped me service both my cars in the parking lot! Completely went above and beyond!
- ANabu narimanOct 6, 20255.0It is uncommon for me to leave public reviews, but my recent experience with Kirk at Advance Auto Parts was of such high caliber that it deserves formal recognition. I have dealt with countless retail and service professionals over the years, and few demonstrate the depth of product knowledge, composure, and genuine professionalism that Kirk displayed throughout our interaction. I initially stopped in for a set of wiper blades, a basic errand, or so I thought. Kirk immediately located the correct fitment for my vehicle, verified compatibility against model specifications, and then proceeded to install them personally. He executed the task with methodical precision, ensuring proper tension and alignment, and even checked the sweep pattern to confirm even contact. It was an act of attention to detail that one rarely encounters in modern retail. As we spoke further, I mentioned upcoming maintenance I planned to perform myself. Without hesitation, Kirk offered a series of well-reasoned product recommendations that demonstrated real technical fluency. He suggested Pennzoil Ultra Platinum, explaining its synthetic formulation derived from gas-to-liquid technology and its capacity to maintain molecular stability under high thermal stress. He then recommended NGK spark plugs and a quality air filter, outlining how each component affects ignition efficiency and overall engine health. The entire exchange was rooted in data, not persuasion, a hallmark of someone who actually understands the craft. Perhaps most impressive, however, was Kirk’s guidance regarding the Advance Auto Parts loaner tool program. Rather than simply pointing me to the shelf, he explained which tools would be required for the job, from the correct socket sizes and extensions to the proper torque wrench range. He even walked me through the rental process, how to check the tools out, return them, and ensure they were properly calibrated for accurate torque values. This was not just retail assistance; it was a miniature masterclass in self-sufficiency and precision maintenance. He discussed the benefit of using a torque wrench with a narrow tolerance to avoid thread damage during spark plug installation and recommended a plug socket with a rubber insert to prevent electrode cracking. That level of specificity, down to tool design and application technique, is something I have only encountered in professional garages or among seasoned technicians. What stood out most was the composure with which Kirk handled the entire conversation. His tone was courteous, deliberate, and informed, never hurried, never dismissive. He balances customer rapport with technical authority in a way that builds trust instantly. In a marketplace often dominated by indifference, Kirk operates with purpose and quiet confidence. If I were evaluating this location through a corporate lens, I would consider Kirk a high-value associate, one who directly enhances brand credibility and customer retention. His understanding of both product and process makes him an ambassador for what Advance Auto Parts should represent: reliability, technical precision, and a genuine commitment to the customer experience. From product recommendations to installation guidance and rental tool education, Kirk provided a level of service that was frankly closer to concierge grade than retail standard. The experience left me both better equipped and better informed, which is the hallmark of true service excellence. Advance Auto Parts leadership should take note. Professionals like Kirk are the difference between transactional business and repeat loyalty. He did not just sell me parts; he added measurable value to my understanding of vehicle maintenance. In short, this was not a store visit. It was a benchmark example of how expertise and integrity combine to elevate a simple errand into a genuinely positive experience.

HOW DO BRAKES WORK?
Expand FAQ item
Brakes work by using friction to turn kinetic energy into heat. There are two designs: drum brakes (older), and disc brakes (newer). Both use hydraulic pressure to move a piston outward. In disc brakes, the piston is located inside a caliper that houses brake pads and fits over the rotor. The friction lining on the pads makes contact with the rotor to slow the vehicle. In drum brakes, the piston moves two curved shoes lined with friction material against the inside of the brake drum.
